Brendan Rodgers insists he was proud of his Leicester players for showing they can 'stand up and fight' in touchline brawl at Chelsea... with both clubs being charged by FA for bust-up

Brendan Rodgers has defended his Leicester stars' conduct in the touchline brawl with Chelsea towards the end of their 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Both clubs were charged by the FA after players and coaches became involved in the bust-up, with Chelsea particularly angry with Leicester substitute Daniel Amartey.

A video appeared on social media of Amartey hurling a Chelsea pennant to the ground after Leicester beat them in the FA Cup Final.
